X-raytechnology trends
• Since about 100 years X-ray imaging through analogue electronic technology and photography
• Since about 30 years with digital technology
• Digital technology is rapidly taking over – in this field as in most other
![Page 8: New Biomedical Imaging and Image Analysis · 2008. 11. 17. · Medical image analysis: CAD - Computer Aided Diagnosis • To filter an image so that it becomes significantly better](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e1e4fdd36e01c185a3f47/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Fluoroscopy vs radiography• Fluoroscopy –
transillumination,– Creates a live image of
the patient – Can support real time
diagnosis – Shows dynamics – Can control certain
invasive diagnostic procedures
– Gives a relative high dose also to the medical doctor
• Radiography –X-ray photography
• Creates a frozen permanent image
• Can be interpreted without rush
• Gives medical and legal documentation

Radiography• Original direct film exposure, gives the sharpest
images but low efficiency, only used in special cases such as dental imaging
• Amplification screens converts X-rays to light, gain 100-10 000 x
• Can use secondary aperture, a grid to decrease scattered light and increase contrast
• The film can be replaced by image plates, gives a greater dynamic range and possibilities of directly digitizing and improving the image through image processing

CT-functional principles
• In a large number of projection rays though the body the X-ray absorption is measured, this yields many density profiles.
• These can be reprojected into the slice through Radons formula or through filtered back projection
• CT gives good contrast resolution and very good geometric accuracy

CT image properties
• CT measures X-ray density in absolute units according to the Hounsfields scale – -1000 for air– 0 for water– +1000 for bone
• Through different contrast windows in the display different tissues can be displayed optimally
![Page 23: New Biomedical Imaging and Image Analysis · 2008. 11. 17. · Medical image analysis: CAD - Computer Aided Diagnosis • To filter an image so that it becomes significantly better](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e1e4fdd36e01c185a3f47/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT)
Based on magnetic pulse sequences in a strong magnetic field
Different pulse sequences gives different contrast
The orientation of the slices can be chosen freely through manipulation of the magnetic fields

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRI gives anatomical information
![Page 27: New Biomedical Imaging and Image Analysis · 2008. 11. 17. · Medical image analysis: CAD - Computer Aided Diagnosis • To filter an image so that it becomes significantly better](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e1e4fdd36e01c185a3f47/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How MRT works• Nuclei with odd number of protons/neutrons has
spin
• The spin vector can be aligned to a (very) strong magnetic field
• Can be disturbed by a radio signal in resonance with the spin frequency, the so called Larmorfrequency
• When the atoms returns to rest position they become radio transmitters which can be detected by sensitive receivers
• Through conrol of field gradients and pulse sequences one can determine which atoms are activated and listened to respectively and thus images can be created in 2D and 3D
![Page 28: New Biomedical Imaging and Image Analysis · 2008. 11. 17. · Medical image analysis: CAD - Computer Aided Diagnosis • To filter an image so that it becomes significantly better](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e1e4fdd36e01c185a3f47/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Some fundamental MR-concepts
• MR-images can be weighted to show two time constants giving different contrast:
• T1 is the time constant that determines how fast the spin MZ returns to equilibrium, it is called spin lattice relaxation time Mz = Mo ( 1 - e-t/T1 )
• T2 is the time constant that determines the return to equilibrium for the transversal magnetisation MXY, it is called spin-spin relaxation time MXY =MXYo( e-t/T2)

MRT technologies• The image properties are influenced by many
factors: • Radio antenna coils can be adapted to anatomy and
pathology – Closer coil gives better image
• Different pulse sequences gives different contrast, resolution, signal noise and registration times
• Triggering by heart beat, blood motion and breading can increase the resolution
• Contrast media can enhance certain structures • With functional MR, fMRI activity in the brain can be
registered and imaged

PET functional principles• A positron emitting compound is injected into the
body (must be produced in an accelerator)• The positrons will, within a couple of mm, collide
with an electron and create two co-linear 511keV gamma rays
• These are detected by two detectors located in opposite locations in rings around the person and based on this one can figure out where the event took place
• Re-projection based on the tomographic principle

The properties of PET images• Gives functional images with rather good
resolution at least 1 cm• Glucose can be labelled with C11 and this
makes it possible to see where in the brain “fuel”is needed i.e. where the brain is working
• Very specific substances can be labelled so PET has many applications in pharmaceutical research
• The need for an accelerator and a chemical lab which can handle high speed synthesis of radioactive compounds makes the technology very expensive

PET in Uppsala• The PET-research in Uppsala is in the
international front-line • In 2001 the university PET-centre was sold
to Amersham-Biosciences and Imanet AB was created
• Amersham-Biosciences was bought by GE Medical a few years ago
• The research co-operation with the university continues

SPECT functional principles• A radioactive tracer is injected into the body • With a matrix of detectors arranged above the
body the location of the radioactive disintegrations is approximately determined
• The detector can be moved into different positions, which makes tomographic reconstruction possible
• Alternatively a collimator with slanted holes can be used - ectomography

The SPECT image properties
• SPECT gives a functional image with relatively low resolution, some cm
• The images are intrinsically 3D• The radioactive compounds can be
obtained from long lived mother isotopes which is much cheaper than accelerators
• Dynamic processes can be studied through long registrations

Ultrasound, US• Based on the sonar, acoustic echo
principle. Sound with high frequency, typically a few MHz is sent into the body and the echoes are studied.
• Can with a small, compact equipment give dynamic images in 2D or 3D.
• The images has problems with coherent noise, specle, and with non-linearities in the sound propagation.

Man vs computer
• Man is superior when it comes to recognising and interpreting patterns
• The computer is superior when it comes to – Store– Transport– Present – Count and measure
• The computer can make the images better for human visual analysis
![Page 66: New Biomedical Imaging and Image Analysis · 2008. 11. 17. · Medical image analysis: CAD - Computer Aided Diagnosis • To filter an image so that it becomes significantly better](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071217/604e1e4fdd36e01c185a3f47/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
PACS – the computer as an administrative tool
• Large amounts of images are registered dayly at a modern hospital. Administration and storage of these requires great resources
• A Picture Archiving and Communication System, PACS, can make this more rational
• Requires high capacity storage units and networks. Typically several TB needs to be handled and stored.
• Sectra-Imtec in Linköping is a leading company in this field

Greylevel gradient shading• A greylevel threshold is set and rays are sent into the volume
until a volume element with a value greater than the threshold is encountered
• The intensity gradients at these positions are combined with thelight sources to render the the image
• Cutting planes can be used to remove parts of the volume to make other parts more visible
